TV isn't open to everyone (unless you have easy access to public tv and the
wherewithal to take the classes and sign up for the times to work on your 
show
and air it), and neither is the internet, since you can't just hook up, you
have to have a computer, you have to go through some sort of provider... I
don't know if the internet is going to have the impact that TV does, until
it's in as many households as TVs are. 

Last figures I heard were 90% of all households had TV's , but only 81% had
telephones.... I think computers are way down on the list.
